Well OP you’ve gotten a ton of advice in here, now I will add my .02

I went through a period of absolutely horrific panic attacks, GAD, agoraphobia which led into a black, bottomless depression and very loud, clear suicidal ideation. Though it was the last thing I ever wanted to do, I went to my GP who of course immediately prescribed Lexapro and Xanax. The meds hurt just as much as they helped. I think I had every imaginable side effect. Truly a hellish experience. So yeah…I prayed. And I accepted the answers.

If God really heard me and answered my prayers, it was in the form of leading me to come across the DARE method. It’s a very simple 4 step method that anybody on the planet can do. Utilizing this method I was able to discontinue all medication and though it took a bit of time and dedication, I recovered fully. Trust me, NO ONE believed it was possible for me, least of all…me! So please take a look. https://www.dareresponse.com/

Other than that, the most immediately helpful thing was taking cold showers. Just 2 to 3 minutes under cold (not lukewarm, not cool…cold) water worked every bit as well as a Xanax without all the shitty side effects. Immediate reduction of anxiety and related symptoms, physically and mentally refreshed, a burst of good clean energy, brain fog cleared right up. Every day I would take my normal warm/hot shower to wash up and then bite the bullet and crank that sucker down! Yeah it sucked for the first 10 or 20 seconds but once you acclimate it’s no problem and actually feels really good! Give this a try for a week and see if you aren’t feeling a noticeable difference.

Yes I meditated, took supplements, breathing exercises etc and they were helpful but DARE and cold showers is what did it. Maybe it sounds too simple but anxiety really isn’t complicated. Your fight/flight switch is stuck on ON and you need to switch it back to OFF. I know how horrible it feels. I promise that despite these intense and uncomfortable sensations you are okay, and that when you learn how to turn that switch off again you’re gonna be better than ever. Once you tackle real deal anxiety, not much can shake you up too bad.
